Can i use plastic coal bunker as compost bin ?

Morning, I am upgrading to a woodburner. I have a large plastic coal bunker. The large rectangle style with a hinged lid. I have been told it is no good for a log store. Is there any reason not to use it as a compost bin.

    Can't see why not, if it has an open base. All the Dalek-type compost bins are made of plastic.

    A little hacksaw and you'll easily cut the bottom out, while you're doing it cut out a little door near the bottom.
